Having just built Boost for VS2008 in 64-bit, this is still fresh in my
mind.  :)
 
On the bjam command line, you can tell it which toolset to use:
    toolset=msvc-8.0        for VS2005
    toolset=msvc-9.0        for VS2008
(I don't know if "msvc-7.1" is correct for VS2003, but it follows the
format.)
 
If you want to force a 32-bit or 64-bit build, add one of these:
    address-model=32
    address-model=64
Of course "64" will only work with compilers that support it.)
 
One other thing that helps a lot:  Run the bjam command from a
VisualStudio command prompt for the specific version of VisualStudio.
That will ensure all the necessary environment is setup.

        Hello,
          I have installed VS 2003, VS 2005 & VS 2008 in my PC. I have
to work on all these versions. When I compile boost, it only compiles
for VS 2008. How do I compile it for all the three IDE`s?
        
        Thanks,
          Altaf
